In this episode I'm following up on a tip from a listener who suggested that I should speak with David Bernstein. David was on Michael Shermer's podcast discussing civil liberty, free speech, and constitutional law issues. In the current situation of highly polarized public debate it is critical that we listen to both sides of the argument and don't fall victim to bias. This is a job for The Rational View! David E.

For the final episode of the year, Anchoring Truths presents a special episode featuring Professor David Bernstein of the Scalia Law School at George Mason University. Prof. Bernstein delivered remarks on the American Law of Race post the Harvard cas, Students for Fair Admissions, delivered at our James Wilson Senior Seminar on October 20th. Host Garrett Snedeker served as a research assistant on Prof. Bernstein's book Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America.

What do Critical Race Theory and antisemitism have in common? A lot, actually, from the roots of each movement, to the ideology, to the way they are weaponized by the left today. The overarching philosophy linking these movements together is a Manichean ordering of peoples into groups of oppressed or oppressor – usually, but not always, based on the color of one's skin. Indeed, it is no mistake that in the aftermath of WWII, Jews sought to categorize themselves as white, a move that has now fed the bizarre oppressor/colonizer trope so popular on the left. First Jews weren't white enough for the white supremacists, but now are too white for the CRT crowd. Not to mention the shifting ideological assaults on Jewish groups, once accused of being communists now accused of being capitalists. Yes, donors are pulling out of universities that harbor pro-terrorist groups; yes, the support of Hamas the past few weeks has been a PR disaster for wokeism. But it will take a lot more than that to root out the antisemitic and real race-based discrimination that has gripped America.David E. Bernstein holds a University Professorship chair at the Antonin Scalia Law School, where he has been teaching since 1995. He has also been a visiting professor at the University of Michigan, Georgetown University, William & Mary, Brooklyn Law School, the University of Turin, and Hebrew University. Professor Bernstein teaches Constitutional Law, Evidence, and Products Liability. His most recent book is Classified, The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America.Download the transcript here.

It may surprise some to know that the government has definitive racial classifications for Americans, and it can be still further intriguing to find that the agency tasked with collecting, recording, and managing this data is the Office of Management and Budget. In this podcast, Prof. David Bernstein, author of Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America, joins us for an explanation of why this is and how we got here. Featuring: Prof. David Bernstein, University Professor of Law and Executive Director, Liberty & Law Center, Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Racist Suspect Dr. Linda Martin Alcoff. She has one White parent and one non-white parent. A professor of philosophy at Hunter College and the Graduate Center, CUNY, Dr. Alcoff is a past president of the American Philosophical Association. Her areas of work include epistemology, Latin American philosophy, feminism, critical race theory and continental philosophy. Gus learned about her work from our recent study of Whiteout: How Racial Capitalism Changed the Color of Opioids in America. Interestingly, there are 1 non-white and 2 White authors for this book, and the non-white lead author also has one White parent and one non-white parent. We spoke with White co-author Dr. David Herzberg, who talked about being bullied as a child and his so called Jewish parents' challenge to being accepted as White. There are several points in Whiteout where Dr. Herzberg and his co-authors suggest that poor White people are mistreated similarly to black people. Additionally, the authors reference Dr. Alcoff's work when talking about listless White opioid addicts and their frustrations about the reduced percentage of Whites in the world. Gus thought The Future of Whiteness, Dr. Alcoff's 2015 publication, would have amazing insight on the demographic worries Dr. Frances Cress Welsing theorized about. Wrong. Dr. Alcoff's work reads like the typical Racist who deliberately obfuscates and lies about the practice of Racism. Just like Dr. Herzberg's crew, Dr. Alcoff suggests the mistreatment of some White people is "analogous" to the abuse of niggras. The book makes questionable claims with paltry supporting evidence, and posits that there are “armies of progressive Whites in the antiracist struggle.” Easily one of the worst books Gus has ever read. Zero constructive value, and may be deliberate misinformation promoted by a White Supremacist/Racist. Dr. Alcoff told us she has "White presentation." Gus has heard an array of categories similar to this ("honorary white," "white adjacent," "probationary white"). Racist Suspect is a more accurate description of someone you think might be widely accepted as 1 1111 other people classified as White and able to practice White Supremacy. #AffirmativeAction #TheBellCurve #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Most Americans have had to do it at some point: check the box that most closely describes how you identify your race or ethnicity. But those categories can be limiting. How did America settle on the specific categories that are in use? And what does it mean for how the country works on a sociological level and a legal one? David E. Bernstein is a law professor at the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University. He's written several books and scholarly articles dealing with legal history and legal interpretation, such as Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America and Rehabilitating Lochner: Defending Individual Rights against Progressive Reform. David and Greg discuss both of those books in a sweeping conversation about the history of race in America, why certain categories or groups were established, and how the idea of progressivism can look starkly different depending on the time period.  *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Why are educated people so comfortable with simplistic narratives?01:04:15: For academics, I think that once a narrative becomes established, it's really hard to fight against it. You're a young academic writing your Ph.D. thesis, you're writing your initial articles. Yes, you might want to be the Dragon Slayer who proves the new thesis and everyone else was wrong. But you better do that really well. So if you do a half-baked job, don't persuade people that much. People can say, "Oh, you're just a nut; you're just someone on the fringe, and you don't know what you're talking about." It's a lot easier to go along with the accepted narrative, add your little piece to it, add your little extra research, get tenure, and live your happy life. So I think most people are go along to get along people, they're not especially independent-minded or interested in upsetting the apple cart.On the identity entrepreneur issue12:05: The identity entrepreneur issue—there are several layers to it. There are people who could choose one of many identities and choose whatever happens to be the most convenient for their particular purposes.Why are classifications so influential?16:13: One reason these classifications are so influential is that the census uses them. And it's not just that the census uses them. The census is the font of all data for researchers.Are Americans becoming less prejudiced?39:59: I think what we have in the long run is a cultural battle that's sort of beneath the surface that no one talks about between what's going on at the grassroots, where Americans are less prejudiced than they've ever been. 95% of Americans have no objection to interracial marriage, compared to 4% in 1958. That's quite a difference.Show Links:Recommended Resources:The Rise of the Unmeltable EthnicsLochner v. New YorkBuchanan v.

Brandy and David invite David E. Bernstein, professor of law at the George Mason University School of Law and author of "Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America," to the podcast. We will discuss the proposed new 'Middle Eastern and North African' (MENA) classification to be included in the US Census pushed by Arab American groups. What would this mean for the American Jewish community? Will Israeli Americans be considered part of a new MENA classification? Can Mizrahi Jews claim this distinction? What of Ashkenazi Jews who may feel closer to their Middle Eastern heritage than to a European one? And how could this new classification play out for those seeking a legal victim status?

At a time when government-imposed racial and ethnic classifications are increasingly used to determine peoples' rights, it's important for them to make sense. According to law professor and author David Bernstein, they definitely do not. They're absurd, have negative consequences, and are widely manipulated by “identity entrepreneurs.” 

Shermer and Bernstein discuss: the SCOTUS case on affirmative action and race preferences at Harvard and elsewhere • Elizabeth Warren (Cherokee ancestry — Bureau of Indian Affairs rejects?) • Tiger Woods: Cablinasian (European, African, Thai, Chinese ancestry) • George Zimmerman (Hispanic, half Hispanic, mixed-race, White Hispanic, White, or…?) • Rachel Dolezal (NAACP official, adopted an African American identity, though has none) • Kamala Harris (child of an Indian immigrant mother, father of mixed-African and European heritage from Jamaica) • BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) • ADOS (American Descendants of Slaves) • the biology and legality of race • the one-drop rule of race classification • the rise of modern racial classification • Hispanic, Italian, Polish, Jewish, Armenian, Cajun, South Asian, Arab, and Iranian categories • American Indians/Native Americans • race classification and reparations • How can we achieve a race-blind society? David E. Bernstein holds a University Professorship chair at the Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University, where he has been teaching since 1995. He has also been a visiting professor at the University of Michigan, Georgetown University, William and Mary, Brooklyn Law School, and the University of Turin. Known as a fearless contrarian, Professor Bernstein often challenges the conventional wisdom with prodigious research and sharp, original analysis. His book Rehabilitating Lochner was praised across the political spectrum as “intellectual history in its highest form,” a “fresh perspective and a cogent analysis,” “delightful and informative,” “sharp and iconoclastic,” “well-written and destined to be influential,” and “a terrific work of historical revisionism.” Professor Bernstein blogs at the Volokh Conspiracy (the leading law professor blog) and at Instapundit.com. Professor Bernstein is a graduate of the Yale Law School, where he was senior editor of the Yale Law Journal and a John M. Olin Fellow in Law, Economics, and Public Policy. Professor Bernstein is married and has three children of mixed Eastern European, Middle Eastern, and Spanish-Jewish origin. He prefers not to classify them.

A call for the separation of race and state, backed by a deep dive into the surreal world of racial classification in America...Clarity from Chaos guest: David E. Bernstein, author of Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in AmericaAmericans are understandably squeamish about official racial and ethnic classifications. Nevertheless, they are ubiquitous in American life. Applying for a job, mortgage, university admission, citizenship, government contracts, and much more involves checking a box stating whether one is Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, or Native American.While reviewing the surprising history of American racial classifications, Classified raises questions about the classifications' coherence, logic, and fairness; for example:• Should Pakistani, Chinese, and Filipino Americans be in the same category despite their obvious differences in culture, appearance, religion, and more?• Why does the government not allow Americans to classify themselves as bi- or multi-racial?• How did the government decide that a dark-complexioned, burka-wearing Muslim Yemini should be classified as generically white, but a blond-haired, blue-eyed immigrant from Spain should be classified as Hispanic and treated as a member of a minority group?• Why does the government require biomedical researchers to classify study participants by the official racial categories, when the classifications have no scientific basis?In an increasingly diverse society with high rates of intergroup marriage, the American system of racial classification is getting even more arbitrary and absurd. With rising ethno-nationalism threatening democracy around the world, it's also dangerous. Classified argues that the time has come to consider abolishing official racial classification and replace it with the separation of race and state.David E.

Today, The Two Mikes hosted David E. Bernstein, who holds a University Professorship chair at the Antonin Scalia Law School of George Mason University. Professor Bernstein has just published a long-needed book about the "sordid business" of the federal government's racial classification system. The book is called Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America. The racial classification system started out a well-intentioned tool to assist the Black-Americans to compete economically and in educational opportunities during the Civil Rights Era. As with many of the national government's good intentions, the racial classification system has become a civil rights nightmare by enabling bureaucrats to define race more or less as they see fit. For example, Europeans from Spain are identified in the same category as South American Hispanics and an almost infinitesimal percentage of Asian, African, or Native American blood in an individual allows that person to claim that heritage for a leg-up in jobs, education, and the federal dole. One of the endorsers of Dr. Berntsein's Book, Law Professor Glenn Reynolds, best-sums up the point and great worth of the book by writing that the book's analysis of the mess the United States is in because of its racial classification system is total and obvious: "We mock the racial-classification schemes of the Jim Crow South, Nazi Germany, and Aparthied South Africa. But as David Bernstein has ably demonstrated, our own racial-classification system is just as risible, and no more scientific." Dr. Bernstein's book Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America is available at: Amazon, Powell's Books, and Barnes and Noble.

Racial classification is ubiquitous in American life. Job applications, university admissions, government contracts, and much more involve checking a box stating whether one is black, white, Asian, Hispanic, or Native American.David Bernstein has written a surprising and revealing book on how these classifications came about, with the federal government playing a leading role. It asks:Should Pakistani, Chinese, and Filipino Americans be in the same category despite obvious differences in culture, appearance, religion, and more?Why does the government not allow Americans to classify themselves as biracial or multiracial?How did a dark‐​complexioned, burka‐​wearing Muslim Yemeni come to be classified as generically white while a blond‐​haired, blue‐​eyed newcomer is classified as minority if arriving from a country where Spanish is spoken?Why does the government require biomedical researchers to classify study participants by official racial categories that have no scientific basis?Bernstein's provocative book ends with a call for a separation of race and state. Commenting will be Jane Coaston, host of the New York Times's podcast The Argument, and Prof. Robert Cottrol, a scholar of race and legal history at George Washington University Law School.

Applying for a job, mortgage, university admission, citizenship, government contracts, and much more involves checking a box stating whether one is Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, or Native American. https://www.amazon.com/Classified-Untold-Racial-Classification-America-ebook/dp/B09Z3894L6  GUEST OVERVIEW: David E. Bernstein holds a University Professorship chair at the Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University, where he has been teaching since 1995. Known as a fearless contrarian, Professor Bernstein often challenges the conventional wisdom with prodigious research and sharp, original analysis. He is a graduate of the Yale Law School, where he was senior editor of the Yale Law Journal and a John M. Olin Fellow.

Americans are understandably squeamish about official racial and ethnic classifications. Nevertheless, they are ubiquitous in American life. Applying for a job, mortgage, university admission, citizenship, government contracts, and much more involves checking a box stating whether one is Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, or Native American.David Bernstein's new book, Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America, attempts to illuminate these “crude classifications”, showing how the government's formalizing and flattening of racial categories led to the forming of new interest groups, anti-discrimination policy, and complicated, ever-evolving definitions. But rather than attack affirmative action, it asks: if we're going to classify people by race, what is the goal? How do the tools we use to do so accomplish it? And what can we do going forward to do so in a better way? Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.

Americans are understandably squeamish about official racial and ethnic classifications. Nevertheless, they are ubiquitous in American life. Applying for a job, mortgage, university admission, citizenship, government contracts, and much more involves checking a box stating whether one is Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, or Native American. Professor Bernstein discusses the surprising history of American racial classifications from research findings for his new book: Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America.

My guest today is David Bernstein. David is a professor at George Mason University Law School and the executive director of their liberty and Law Centre. His new book is called "Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America".Topics covered in this episode include the definition of race and the historical origins of America's Big Five racial and ethnic categories, which are Asian American, Black, Hispanic, American Indian, and White. We discuss the problems with all of these categories and how those problems manifest in race-based affirmative action programs and race-based social spending in general. We talk about the phenomenon of racial fraud trials where judges have to determine the race of individuals seeking to qualify for certain programs. We discuss the malleability of racial identity, and how commonly our racial identities can change in response to incentives. We also go on to discuss the prospect of what David calls "a separation of race and state".I really enjoyed this conversation and I hope you do too.-Get 20% Off and Free Shipping with the code [20COLEMAN] at Manscaped.com.

The Remnant's wonky streak continues as David Bernstein, professor at Antonin Scalia Law School, joins the program to discuss his new book, Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America. Racial classifications are ubiquitous in American life, but David believes they are becoming increasingly arbitrary and incoherent. His solution is to abolish official racial classification altogether and replace it with a separation of race and state. But what would this look like in practice, and how did terms of racial classification originate in the first place? Show Notes:- David's webpage- David's new book, Classified- David: “How Well Do You Know America's Racial Classification System?”- Sean Trende's The Lost Majority- The Remnant with Noah Phillips- The Remnant with Ruy Teixeira

On this episode of the AIER Standard, Ethan Yang speaks with Law Professor David Bernstein about his work on racial classification in American law. Bernstein is the author of the forthcoming book Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America where he explores the origins and controversies surrounding the government's involvement in race relations. The conversation touches on the history and politics related to racial identity in this country while emphasizing the messy nature of state classification schemes. Bernstein outlines how the individuals that are included in certain categories often disagree or take issue with being lumped into certain ethnic and racial groups. In particular, he explains the disputes and frustrations that arise from attempting to lump diverse individuals into categories for the purposes of assigning benefits. Finally, he gives insight and predictions on the sustainability of the contemporary American obsession with race and its influence on the law. Professor Bernstein received his Juris Doctorate from Yale University and teaches law at Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University. He also serves as the Executive Director of the Law and Liberty Center and previously taught law at schools such as the University of Michigan, Georgetown, and William and Marry.

The Context of White Supremacy (C.O.W.S.) Radio Program welcomes Dr. Daniel Livesay. A scholar of Early American and Atlantic History, Dr. Livesay is an associate professor of history and the history department chair at Claremont McKenna College in California. A C.O.W.S. listener mentioned his book, Children of Uncertain Fortune: Mixed-Race Jamaicans in Britain and the Atlantic Family, 1733-1833. This book examines White attitudes about Racial Classifications and sexual activity between Whites and non-whites in "colonial" Jamaica and Britain. Gus felt disjointed discussing this subject matter in the midst of the White Terrorist violence in Buffalo. However, Payton Gendron's concerns about White Genetic Annihilation are on every page of Dr. Livesay's book. In fact, some Whites were motivated to end the "slave trade" phase of White Supremacy because of their fears of 'negro domination" of the small population of Whites. We'll discuss the absence of homosexual activity in his book and the centrality of White fear of dark people as a biological threat to their existence. #RacialClassificationConfusion #LetsGoBuffalo #TheCOWS13 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Gail Lukasik. A fictional writer, Lukasik began to research her mother's family history and racial identity. She submitted her information to a television program focused on genealogy and discovering family secrets. The information obtained revealed that Lukasik's mother had been "passing" as a White person. Lukasik chronicled the revelation of family secrets and what this information reveals about the System of White Supremacy in her book, White Like Her. We'll ask how this information changed her understanding of what Racism is and how it works. Lukasik writes that she grew up thinking of her mother and herself as White Women. With this new data, she now thinks that the White classification may not be accurate for her. Racist jokes are mentioned a number of times in the book, as is sexual intercourse between Whites and non-white people. #WhiteSupremacyIsTerrorism INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

We discuss Cuban history from a counter racist perspective. We attempt to put the recent Cuban protests in Cuba and The United States under the Context of Racism White Supremacy. We also study the organized criminal, political and social consequences of the Mariel Boatlift. We play clips of Neely Fuller Jr., Miami News Radio and NPR to add context.

E116 - Hope your brain sponge is ready to soak up some fascinating knowledge! Matty, easily the smartest Nooks and Crannies podcaster besides co-host Evan, serves us up a verbal pu pu platter of stories and information as to why humans do the things and think the way we do. He has thoughts on ancient alien theory, having under his belt 17 years of college, multiple degrees in many social sciences, a touch of ESP, and two personal UFO sightings! Yes, he gives details on his spacecraft viewings, down to the unfortunate interruption. He explains his beliefs about horoscopes, Newtonian physics, and ancient people's understanding of the cosmos. We ask about indigenous cultures in Canada and the US, talk history books and racial classification, and learn about puberty rituals and practices. We find out feelings on hemp, ayahuasca, and iboga as we chat about psychedelics and cultures. There is lots of laughter as we hear about primate sexuality amongst nonbinary, self-loving, sword-fighting bonobos. And we learn why there were a bunch of sad non-orgasmic naked people sitting on crystal boxes in the 50's! Hear the conversation on why people, anthropologically speaking, fantasize about partners or have obsessive sexual behaviors. This leads to neurotransmitter and neurology talk, and we find out about Matty's many concussions and CTE, and talk disability policies and thoughts on healthcare. It was a wonderful discussion and we loved learning a little bit about his family too. Hope you enjoy this insightful, funny dialog with our friend too and let us know what you think!
